If I were buying in Worcester, this would be the one. Tucked away on a quiet no-through road in Barbourne, this 1901 Victorian terrace feels like a small discovery: full of charm, full of light, and updated with obvious care. It is a period home with personality, contemporary finishes, and the kind of space that makes life feel enjoyable.

The newly extended kitchen is the star. A modern, open-plan space with white granite worktops, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and natural Mandarin Stone flooring warmed from beneath. It is elegant and designed for real living. Walls of storage swallow the practical clutter you do not want to see, while bifold doors open to the courtyard garden, creating an easy rhythm between indoors and out.

You can imagine mornings here and late summer dinners, the hum of conversation drifting through the open doors. Integrated appliances including an induction hob, dishwasher and washing machine, keeping everything seamless.

Adjoining the kitchen is the relaxed living area with its log burner: winter evenings sorted! At the front of the house sits a separate sitting room, giving flexibility; somewhere to read, watch a film, or simply shut the world out for an hour.

One of the silent triumphs of this house is the dry cellar. At approximately (4.37m x 4.11m), it is the sort of hidden storage every house craves. Boxes, bikes, tools and wine; it all disappears out of sight, leaving the main spaces calm and uncluttered.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms await. The principal bedroom has a fitted wardrobe, original sanded floorboards, and a lovely soft light overlooking the front. The second bedroom is equally well-proportioned, with space clearly zoned for a double bed at one end and a dedicated desk area at the other; ideal for those working from home.

The newly created bathroom feels considered and welcoming, pairing a deep bath with a large walk-in rain shower. Above, a boarded loft with ladder and lighting provides even more handy storage.

Outside, there is easy parking at the front, a small front garden to fill with seasonal flowers, and at the rear, a courtyard garden that becomes a little sanctuary.

Practical things have been handled: a new boiler was fitted just a year ago, the house is double glazed throughout, and its EPC rating is respectable for a Victorian terrace. From the bottom of the road a public footpath leads you directly to the Racecourse and riverside walks; ideal for runners, dog walkers, and anyone who values green space. (And no, the house does not flood).

This is a home that has been thoughtfully transformed. The photographs I hope speak volumes but it is even better in person. I look forward to meeting and showing you this pretty home.
